Adventure riding concept – “Romania. Off the beaten path”

Summer trails in winter time – January in Danube Delta

Like in the previous years, right after the New Year’s party we’ve been watching the weather forecast with interest. We waited a few days for the temperatures to get over 0 degrees and that happened in the middle of January. Without wasting any time, we’ve prepared our bikes, packed the thick equipment and went to the Danube Delta.
The delta looked different from the one we saw last summer, deserted, with lots of mud, grey, but still it was something about it that made us venture right in it.
We’ve spent two night at our hosts houses in Letea and Sulina where we received a “royal” treatment, lots of fish dishes, specific beverages and coincidence made it that we celebrated the New Year according to the Old Calendar.
The sun was present in two out of those three days of our adventure, which made every moment on the saddle even more pleasant.
We can say that the motorcycling season has started for us!

4th – 7th May 2012

It’s a historical and geographical habitat stretching from the Black Sea to the Danube. In the old times it was known as Scythia Minor.
In the North-East if Dobrogea is the Danube Delta, an unique place in Europe.
It’s heights are some ancient mountains, eroded to a tall hill size (467meters the highest peak).

Because of it’s geographical location, Dobrogea has always been at the crossroads between Orient and Europe and the fact that it has direct access to the Black Sea made it even more important to people.

There is a lot of archaeological data that reveals Dobrogea as an important commercial center since Neolitical times. Later the Greeks made their first settlements here, following the polis model. And then the Persians and Romans were just as interested in these territories. The name Scythia Minor is the Roman name of the region. The area is filled with Roman ruins, a strong reminder of their presence here. Tropaeum Traiani is one of the best preserved monument in the area, it was erected to commemorate Roman’s victory agains the Southern invaders. Other monuments in the area are the Enisala fortress, an old turk fortress and the Greek polis Histria.

From an adventure rider’s point of view is perfect. Endless dirt roads to ride, passing through a varied landscape, in the North the Danube Delta, in the center Macinului Mountains and in the East the Black Sea.
The landscape is inviting you to explore it, dirt roads as far as the eye can see, forests teeming with wildlife, it is the best way to enjoy a spring week.
People are very welcoming and the food is delicious, fish like you never tasted before.
On this trip you’ll get to experience the simple but very fulfilling lifestyle.
